Luis Hello, I wanted to share with you all a short video we did to try to engage people in conversation regarding school bullying and teen suicide. For more information please visit our website at uncertainthemovie.info. Thank you.

"uncertain" relates the drowsy-dream of a teenage boy who has taken an overdose of pills to end his life. Driven on an open-field road, Anson slowly wakes up to realize he does not know where he is or where is being taken. ...

Depends? I write a lot and I have a few homosexual characters. I didn't throw them into the story BECAUSE they were gay, they are just characters that happen to be gay. Just like I have characters in the story that happen to be black, women, work retail, are a parent, was raped in high school... my story merely replicates what I see in real life ... Read Morewith my friends.

If 90210's writing morals is similar to mine, then it shouldn't be an issue. BUT I truly have my doubts that that's the case. Thing is, I planned to have gay/female/minority/ etc characters from the start. It's not like I decided to throw in characters midway through, against the style of the story, just to be politically correct. I mean like, I want to believe that Disney's "The Frog And The Princess" was created just because it's another fun movie to make, and NOT because Disney is trying to "recify" a past mistake, or worse, trying to cash in on the 15% of potential consumers who are not represented by the current lineup of "Disney's Princesses".

I don't understand why any of this is even a discussion really. Of course they are adding characters to increase viewers. Everything is about increasing their numbers. It's the nature of the business.

The far continues to plaque the social views in the country until we become more aggressive and call them for the provecators that they are hate crimes will continue to rise

Isn't it ironic. Here in Iowa the Conservanatzi's don't consider it hate to want to ammend the constitution to discriminate against gay/lesbian couples by not allowing them to marry. By the above definition wouldn't that be "bias against sexual orientation?

Once again it just goes to prove that there is "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" for some -- and the pledge of allegiance should quote, "...and to the republic for which it stands, one nation...divided, with liberty and justice for some."

Does anyone happen to know if Langham Creek HS has a GSA (gay straight alliance)? I think they need one if they don't have one already.

Very sad, indeed. The family (survivors) are going to need a great deal of support with this. Their pain/suffering will not be ending anytime soon.
